Whereas the description says "there may be a ] when it's not between [ and ]", the test cases are tuned for something much more specific than that... they only put unbalanced ]s before all of the [...] groups, and never between them or after them.

FWIW, my solutions don't delete * from between unbalanced ] at the end, so I find it interesting that yours does.

I do think that if your solution is to be considered valid, the description of Task 23 should be updated to explain that the unbalanced ]s can only occur at the beginning.
